If you ask me for my favorite beach in La Jolla, Windansea is always near the top of the list. đ
Part of it is personal. My kids love to surf here, and I can sit on the beach and keep an eye on them without feeling like theyâre a mile away.
But even if you donât surf, itâs hard not to appreciate this place.
The rock formations, the color of the water, the coastline... it feels like one of those spots that reminds you why people dream about living in Southern California.
And unlike some of the larger beaches, it has a little more character and a little less chaos.
Most of the time, anyway.
My one piece of advice? Avoid it on the Fourth of July unless youâre looking to relive your high school years. Maybe college, I donât know how old they are but there are a lot of them.đ
The rest of the year, itâs one of the best spots in La Jolla to slow down and enjoy the coast.
